Dawn Jean Making Class

Join us for a highly anticipated fun and skill-building 4-week jean-making class where you’ll create your very own custom-fit pair of jeans! Using the Dawn Jeans Pattern by Megan Nielsen, students will learn essential techniques for working with denim, including fitting, topstitching, zipper installation, and waistband construction.
